How Do You Make Almond Joy Brownies?

Using A Thermometer When Baking

The Coconut Filling

The Chocolate Topping

2. Heat cream in heavy saucepan over low-medium heat. Once cream has been steaming for several minutes, whisking constantly, remove from heat.

3. Pour in chocolate chips and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk together until chocolate has melted and ganache is smooth and shiny.

4. Pour over cream cheese layer.

6. Chill in refrigerator several hours.

7. Cut using sharp knife, ran under hot water, and cleaned between slices.

A Decadent Treat

Get your ice-cold milk ready. These babies are supremely rich. I actually don't even drink milk, I prefer cold water after cake and ice cream and anything else that leaves one hankering for a glass of milk. Is that gross?

Chill your brownies. Run your sharp knife under hot water before slicing, and wipe it off between slices. TRUST ME.

To make a thinner layer of chocolate, decrease chocolate chips and whipping cream with a ratio of 1 package chocolate chips to 1 c cream. Intensity of chocolate chips is also optional (dark, semi-sweet, milk), as well as adding chopped almonds to the brownie batter.
